I was actually looking at them but the ELO came along so I got that instead. I dont know how it connects but I would have thought going by the pic all you do is connect the circuit board to the screen and hook up the USB to the computer, it should then be seen as a HID compliant and work right away, you shouldnt even need to have it anywhere near the TFT and it would work like a touchpad ;) You could then load the software so that you can fine tune etc. Is it not working like that or does it have other connections that are not shown in the pics?

No other connections, just like you said, connect the circuit board to the screen and hook up the USB to the computer.  I load the drivers, all goes well, except that touching an icon does nothing.

I just reloaded it now.  Asks if I want to do a 4 point calibration.  It's sitting there doing that.  Last time I did that I got runtime errors.  There was an option when installing  to enable another PS2.  I've checked that before, didn't this time to see if it makes a difference.

Have you tried without loading the drivers? you shouldnt even need them as windows would load its own as it would just be seen as a mouse,touchpad or any other input device. You may need the drivers for things like setting the double click area and putting a right click button on screen but it should follow your finger without.

OK I unloaded the drivers provided.  Rebooted and windows is asking for drivers. Looking at the list of drivers winbloz has.  Any thoughts on which one to try.  ELO is on the list.

just let it search automatically. You may have a problem if you have previously installed drivers as it may want to load them. However if its asking then I dont think that will be the case.

I pointed windows to the inf file, now whenever I plug the usb for the touchscreen in it loads that.  The mouse is crazy, the cursor follows my finger 2" to the left.  I'll try to find that file and delete it.  Crap

OK so at least you know the screen is working now even if it is screwing with the mouse. Do you have a web address for the drivers, there may be updated ones available which wont hang your computer.
